She recalls that while teaching at a university in Beijing, she had a chair in her room that was uncomfortable. She replaced it with one of the chairs stacked outside the cafeteria, as they looked the same to her.

Not long afterward a university employee knocked on her door and told her, through gestures, that she shouldn’t do that. When she asked who made the rule, the man replied: “You gui ding.”

Carducci asked for Mr You’s office, believing, as most Westerners do, that approaching the official directly would be better than climbing the ladder of hierarchy.

She later learned that “you gui ding” means “there are rules”, and the chairs outside the cafeteria were numbered and reserved for celebrations and other special occasions.

Years later, with a perfect mastery of Chinese and a deep understanding of Chinese social protocol, Carducci suggests a much better solution to this kind of trouble: politely explain the situation and ask the Chinese employee to help.

“Then the worker would take this on as a duty and perhaps as an honor to help the foreigner who knows how to behave in a Chinese environment,” she says.

Carducci, whose ancestors come from Italy and Canada, has penned poems, essays, travelogues and many other works, in several languages. This helps explain her ability to discern the positive aspects of a new culture quickly.

Carducci regards herself as well integrated in her host country. But she points out that integration doesn’t mean that one should change into a Chinese person.

“It doesn’t mean condemning all that is Western and elevating all that is Chinese. But it is making ourselves feel at ease among the Chinese,” she says.

“This requires observation, reflection and adaptation. It means finding our own place in Chinese society and making space for ourselves.”
